A denim bistro apron will surely be a hit in the kitchen or at the backyard grill.
These kitchen mitts are the gifts they’ll keep on using!
Embellish the apron pockets with stitching to resemble the back pocket of jeans.

2. Place a batting piece on the wrong side of each denim piece. Quilt together or sew a pocket design through both layers.


 Quilt each side of the mitt, or sew a pocket design across each side, through the denim and batting.

3. Seam the sections together with a 1/4-inch seam. Notch the curves so the edges will be smooth when turned.


 Stitch the mitt sections right sides together, notch the curve, turn right side out, and press.

4. Sew the lining sections right sides together with a 1/4-inch seam.

5. Slip the lining into the mitt. Fold in the top edges, pin together, and sew along the fold.


 Cutting the top of the mitt along a frayed edge of fabric gives a fun finish. Just turn in the lining at the top and sew to the denim.

Steen writes: Great stuff! I did something along this line for my daughter for Christmas a couple years back... Apron, potholders, frayed-edge denim placemats, bandana napkins, and then printed off favorite recipes and put them in a clear-view binder with the cover insert consisting of denim quilted with colorful bits to match the apron and potholders. I love the big pockets on your apron - perfect for a cook. I think this is a great gift ensemble!
